Monastery Training

On paper, this set seems like a fantastic one: for a measly $10, you receive two extraordinary minifigures, and a couple of small, yet still useful and great, builds. However, this set is very reminiscent of a set two years ago from the LEGO Ninjago movie, where you also got two minifigures and similar builds to this rendition. This set is so close to a 5star review, yet still far away simultaneously. more less

all right. Here's the quick overview. 1. Think about this: The set is 10$. it costs a good bit to buy a whole minifigure, with weapons. On amazon, it could be 11$, (from experience) to buy one minifigure. and in this, you get 2 for 10$. so... yea. 2. The weapons. the gold blade things are a good addition to any LEGO builders collection, whether they be young or old. they work well with... basically anything. they look good, and they are fun to mix around with other Ninjago sets. (they also look good in stop motion. ) 3. The masks. very..... different. I personally... don't like them that much. for 2 reasons: reason 1, there is a piece of "cloth" going down the back of the mask. the back does look more like the show.... but the minifigure can't where any armor, bow-pack, or other accessories. :( Reason 2..... the front really doesn't look like the show, or the movie. 4. the temple\corner\thingy is.... there. a nice addition if you already have 70606. they go well together. trust me. 5. not really sure what that other thing is. (the pole with a swisty thing on it. if someone from customer care could clarify, that would be great!) more less
